I have installed VS2017 ver. 15.7.5 and followed the instructions to build the SentimentAnalysis project as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/machine-learning/tutorials/sentiment-analysis. When I try to debug the code, I get "Unable to start program 'C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe'. The address is not valid for this context." Any suggestions on what to try to overcome this hurdle?

Possible case of Component Cache issue. One way to fix this is as suggested below.

On Visual Studio 2017

  1. Close Visual Studio (ensure devenv.exe is not present in the Task Manager)
  2. Delete the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0\ComponentModelCache directory
  3. Restart Visual Studio.

On Visual Studio 2015

  1. Close Visual Studio (ensure devenv.exe is not present in the Task Manager)
  2. Delete the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache directory
  3. Restart Visual Studio.

On Visual Studio 2013

  1. Close Visual Studio (ensure devenv.exe is not present in the Task Manager)
  2. Delete the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache directory
  3. Restart Visual Studio.

  • The directory 15.0 directory is empty, so there is nothing to delete. Any other suggestions? – SaulN Jul 30 '18 at 19:25
  • @SaulN do you see any other folder along with 15.0 ? and anything starting with 15.0... I have something like 15.0_49c5511c – Rajshekar Reddy Jul 30 '18 at 20:04
  • There are a number of directories that start with 15. I tried deleting the ComponentModelCache directory of one of them an VS wouldn't restart. – SaulN Jul 30 '18 at 21:24
  • Running the program without debugging (ctrl+F5) produces the results described in the tutorial. Running it with debugging (F5) produces the problem. – SaulN Jul 31 '18 at 01:23
  • @SaulN in that case can you try to run VS as administrator ? I doubt that you have installed the VS using admin account and now working with a different account. Let me know if this helps. – Rajshekar Reddy Aug 01 '18 at 06:53
